MILWAUKEE — Grant House, the lead plaintiff in House v. NCAA, the landmark federal antitrust case whose settlement is reshaping college athletics, will be the special guest for the next installment of the “Face of the Case” series of Marquette University Law School’s Lubar Center for Public Policy Research and Civic Education, on Thursday, Feb. 5, at 12:15 p.m. at Eckstein Hall, 1215 W. Michigan St. The event is presented in partnership with Marquette Law School’s Sports Law Program.
Derek Mosley, director of the Lubar Center, hosts the “Face of the Case” series. Registration is available online for this free public event. Media wishing to attend should contact Kevin Conway at kevin.m.conway@marquette.edu.
House, a former Arizona State University swimmer and advocate for athlete rights, will share his journey from student-athlete to a plaintiff taking on the NCAA. The conversation will center on how this historic case has redefined name, image, and likeness (NIL) compensation, athlete empowerment, and the business of college sports.
Cases are routinely referred to by name, yet it may be too easy to forget the real people behind the names. The Lubar Center’s “Face of the Case” series attempts to showcase the people.
Mosley has served as Lubar Center for Public Policy Research and Civic Education director since 2023. Under his leadership, the Law School’s Lubar Center has expanded its programming to include sessions during Black History Month and on unconscious bias, as well as Heritage Dinners in the community, offering participants and attendees an engaging perspective on a variety of issues grounded in current events. A 1995 graduate of Marquette Law School, Mosley for seven years represented the state of Wisconsin in court as an assistant district attorney in Milwaukee County and then served as a judge of the Milwaukee Municipal Court for 20 years.
